Notes: [Andy Hart] Doesn't play to 40 time. Too many guys get by him. Not an elite athlete. Receovers well and makes plays on ball. [Erik Scalavino] Best of the bunch. Great size, good coverage technique. Could tackle better. [Paul Perillo] Physical LCB; Fights for ball downfield; A little sloppy with technique at times; Sits in zones as well.

Notes: [Andy Hart] Good size. Stiff through the hips. Very phsyical, will draw flags in the NFL. [Erik Scalavino] Big and strong. Kind of Talib-like. Being a former WR helps his coverage. [Paul Perillo] Good size but perhaps too big; Good tackler; Good discipline; Move to safety in his future.

Notes: [Andy Hart] Seems to have to recover a lot. Good breaks. Lot PDs. Playmaker. Blitzes. [Erik Scalavino] Slighter build than the others mentioned, but still a good athlete. Zone coverage experience a plus. [Paul Perillo] Aggressive blitzer; Athletic; A notch below the others in terms of coverage.

Notes: [Andy Hart] No Comments. [Erik Scalavino] Hard hitter. Very quick to react, but sometimes overpursues as a result. [Paul Perillo] Terrific all around safety; Very fast and physical; Impact player.
